Question of fate

How long does it take for a person to grow? It is not so much the need to experience a long and deep night, but it can actually be a momentary thing. He has a bright future and a beloved partner, but these best things in the world were destroyed by his most trusted friends in an instant. He will either grow into a real man at the fastest speed, or at the fastest The speed is degenerating and sinking. He chose the former.

I think that there will probably not be a second person in the world whose life is as dramatic as Edmund Dantès. Maybe it was originally living in a novel that is higher than life, so that there will be such ups and downs. What he lost is his future, his love, his relatives, and his friendship. What tortured him was not only the inhuman treatment and harsh environment in the prison, but also the extreme despair and abyss in his heart. He said that he didn't believe in God anymore, but he still engraved on the wall: "God will give me justice". It can be seen that there is still a fire in the deepest part of his heart, allowing him to see a glimmer of light in this dark prison.

The encounter with the pastor became the most important turning point in his life. This pastor, perhaps an angel sent by God, came to him and took him out of trouble. So the little fire in his heart was ignited, and it rose into a bright torch, but at the same time it was also a blazing fire of revenge. Looking at the picture of him in prison, one will think of "The Shawshank's Redemption", how much perseverance and determination it takes to make one believe that one day he will escape this unfathomable prison.

In the movie, Dantes and Mercedes are finally together, which is the least promising part of the whole story. I have never believed that a relationship can break through the mirror and reunite. Even with the best glue, the traces of the fragments can still be clearly seen. The love with Mei is Tang's best past when he was a boy. At that time, he simply believed in the beauty of the future and believed that he would marry Mei immediately. However, as time has passed, can they really face each other peacefully? Can they really continue to love each other? After all, too many things happened during this period, too many changes, enough to change the two people, including each other's feelings. There are also the sons of May and Fernan. Although they are Tang’s flesh and blood, after all they have lived with Fernan for 16 years. He saw Tang kill his father. He was indifferent and incomprehensible. This is enough to constitute his life. The cruelest picture in it. "New Count of Monte Cristo" deleted the role of Heidi, I am afraid it is more to please the audience. At the end of the film, Tang Yumei and their son start a new life. They stood on the cliff, facing the sea, and the spring flowers were blooming.

There are miracles, but more people have given up before the miracle comes.

    It is too different from the original adaptation, especially in the stage of revenge, the compression is too severe and too hasty. The happy ending is really incompetent, and the ending of the original is very meaningful: waiting and hope!

    As a remake of a famous novel, this film made me concentrate for two hours, enough!

The Count of Monte Cristo quotes

  • Dorleac: And if you're thinking just now 'Why me, oh God?' the answer is: God has nothing to do with it. In fact, God is never in France this time of year.

    Edmond: God has everything to do with it. He's everywhere. He sees everything.

    Dorleac: Alright. Let's make a bargain, shall we? You ask God for help and I'll stop the moment he shows up.

  • Edmond: Monseuir, I know you must hear this a great deal; I assure you I am innocent. Everyone must say that, I know, but I truly am.

    Dorleac: Innocent?

    Edmond: Yes.

    Dorleac: I know. I really do know.

    Edmond: You mock me?

    Dorleac: No, my dear Dantes. I know perfectly well that you are innocent. Why else would you be here? If you were truly guilty, there are a hundred prisons in France where they would lock you away. But Chateau d'If is where is they put the ones they're ashamed of.
